Specific
Please direct specific comments and inquiries on individual actions
identified in this agenda to the individual listed in the summary
portion as the point of contact for that action.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: DHS provides this notice pursuant to the
requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (Pub. L. 96-354, Sept.
19, 1980) and Executive Order 12866 ``Regulatory Planning and Review''
(Sept. 30, 1993) as incorporated in Executive Order 13563 ``Improving
Regulation and Regulatory Review'' (Jan. 18, 2011), which require the
Department to publish a semiannual agenda of regulations. The
regulatory agenda is a summary of existing and projected regulations as
well as actions completed since the publication of the last regulatory
agenda for the Department. DHS's last semiannual regulatory agenda was
published online on January 4, 2023, at <a href="https://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/eAgendaMain">https://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/eAgendaMain</a>.
Beginning in fall 2007, the internet became the basic means for
disseminating the Unified Agenda. The complete Unified Agenda is
available online at <a href="http://www.reginfo.gov">www.reginfo.gov</a>.
The Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 602) requires Federal
agencies to publish their regulatory flexibility agendas in the Federal
Register. A regulatory flexibility agenda shall contain, among other
things, a brief description of the subject area of any rule which is
likely to have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of
small entities. DHS's printed agenda entries include regulatory actions
that are in the Department's regulatory flexibility agenda. Printing of
these entries is limited to fields that contain information required by
the agenda provisions of the Regulatory Flexibility Act. Additional
information on these entries is available in the Unified Agenda
published on the internet.
The semiannual agenda of the Department conforms to the Unified
Agenda format developed by the Regulatory Information Service Center.

101. U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services Fee Schedule and Changes
to Certain Other Immigration Benefit Request Requirements [1615-AC68]
Legal Authority: 8 U.S.C. 1356(m), (n)
Abstract: On January 4, 2023, the Department of Homeland Security
(DHS) published a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM or proposed rule)
88 FR 402 that proposed to adjust the fees charged by U.S. Citizenship
and Immigration Services (USCIS) for immigration and naturalization
benefit requests. On August 3, 2020, DHS adjusted the fees USCIS
charges for immigration and naturalization benefit requests, imposed
new fees, revised certain fee waiver and exemption policies, and
changed certain application requirements via the rule ``USCIS Fee
Schedule & Changes to Certain Other Immigration Benefit Request
Requirements.'' DHS has been preliminarily enjoined from implementing
that rule by court order. This rule would rescind and replace the
changes made by the August 3, 2020, rule and establish new USCIS fees
to recover USCIS operating costs. DHS solicited public comment on the
NPRM, which DHS intends to consider and address in a final rule.

103. Lifejacket Approval Harmonization [1625-AC62]
Legal Authority: 46 U.S.C. 3306(a); 46 U.S.C. 3306(b); 46 U.S.C.
4102(a); 46 U.S.C. 4102(b); 46 U.S.C. 4302(a); 46 U.S.C. 4502(a); 46
U.S.C. 4502(c)(2)(B)
Abstract: The Coast Guard would amend the lifejacket approval
requirements and follow-up program requirements by incorporating new
bi-national standards. At the same time, the Coast Guard would amend
lifejacket and personal flotation devices (PFDs) carriage requirements
to allow for the use of equipment approved to the new standards, and to
remove obsolete equipment approval requirements. The new standards are
intended to replace the legacy standards. The amendments would
streamline the process for approval of PFDs and allow manufacturers the
opportunity to produce more innovative equipment that meets the
approval requirements of both Canada and the United States, while
reducing the burden for manufacturers in both the approval process and
follow-up program. The rule is expected to provide a cost savings by
reducing the regulatory burden on PFD manufacturers by harmonizing our
PFD approval standards with Canada, requiring less frequent inspections
of manufacturing facilities, providing lower cost PFD user manuals, and
by potentially creating a new market in PFDs with a lower buoyancy
rating. This rule is consistent with Executive Order 14058, which
directs agencies to take actions that improve service delivery and
customer experience by decreasing administrative burdens, enhancing
transparency, and improving the efficiency and effectiveness of
government.

Legal Authority: 46 U.S.C. 9303(f)
Abstract: Pursuant to the Great Lakes Pilotage Act, the Coast Guard
must review rates for pilotage services on the Great Lakes by March 1
of each year. This rule would adjust the pilotage rates to account for
changes in district operating expenses, an increase in the number of
pilots, and anticipated inflation for the 2024 shipping season.

requirements to safety training, equipment, vessel examinations, vessel
safety standards, the documentation of maintenance, and the termination
of unsafe operations. This rulemaking promotes the Coast Guard's

46 CFR 2.10-101 for sea-going towing vessels inspected under 46 CFR
subchapter I. These user fees are for services related to the
inspection of these vessels and will reflect the differences in cost to
the government to provide these services to vessels that use a safety
management system involving a third party and vessels that do not.

Legal Authority: Pub. L. 114-190, sec. 3405
Abstract: As required by the FESSA, TSA will propose a rule to
revise its regulations, reflecting current knowledge of insider threat
and intelligence, to enhance the eligibility requirements and
disqualifying criminal offenses for individuals seeking or having
unescorted access to any SIDA of an airport. Consistent with the
statutory mandate, TSA will consider adding to the list of
disqualifying criminal offenses and criteria, develop an appeal and
waiver process for the issuance of credentials for unescorted access,
and propose an extension of the lookback period for disqualifying
crimes. As part of TSA's reevaluation of the eligibility and redress
standards for aviation workers required by the Act, TSA is also
reevaluating the current vetting process to minimize any security risks
that may exist.

to the Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism Standards (CFATS) regulations.
The ANPRM provided an opportunity for the public to provide
recommendations for possible program changes. In June 2020, CISA
published for public comment a retrospective analysis of the CFATS
program. And in January 2021, CISA invited additional public comment
through an ANPRM concerning the removal of certain explosive chemicals
from CFATS. CISA intends to address many of the subjects raised in both
ANPRMs and the retrospective analysis in this regulatory action,
including potential updates to CFATS cybersecurity requirements and
Appendix A to the CFATS regulations.
